Agreed. Please tell the poor season ticket holders that pay for the tickets to games like tonight 😝

Flames deserved to lose tonight and deserve to miss the playoffs with the way they started that third period. The game is there for the taking and they come out looking completely inept. Truly amazing.

Another four GA on twenty-whatever shots. Lots of blame to go around.

And a disgusting effort by Kadri. I literally hate watching him play and the fact that he’s signed for six more years. GTFO.

Yeah, the game plan should have been to play good solid hockey and gradually up the pressure, not throw caution to the wind. The game was tied, they weren’t behind.

I didn't want Kadri last summer but warmed up to him at the start of the year when he actually looked like he cared. That was short lived until I went back to wanting no part of him. And if his laziness has to do with Sutter that just shows how selfish he is.
In my opinion it’s a huge endearing quality when someone just owns their mistakes and uses them as a learning experience to improve. I see none of that with Kadri. Not like he gives a #### what I think, LOL.

I think all bubbsy is getting at is fans should stop supporting the Flames with their wallets until the team actually gets serious about winning and stop putting everything on repeat the 04 magic. 04 was a magical run but that’s no way to run a franchise and this constant trading of picks and settling in the middle isn’t actually getting the team anywhere. Now maybe this strategy backfires and they move the team but if I was living in Calgary still I’d stop supporting the team financially.

If you are so smart take some time away from the Flames if they make you so mad.

He's from Toronto, he should just go cheer for the team close to home. Poster like this irks me. You are mad at the team, management, coaches, FINE! Attacking fellow fans are just bad!

It’s exactly my point , Calgary flames fans are expecting nothing more than being losers.
Dude who has posted 4 times a day for 15 years on a Flames fan forum attacks Flames fans for being Flames fans.

Imagine being in the Flames marketing department and trying to figure out who to build your season ticket campaign around for next year when your players who care are all UFAs and your “stars” have all been horrendous

Fans are going toncheer for their team whether you like it or not. Kind of strange to be angry about that.

I honestly didn't see it like that, especially the first turnover.

Just a total lack of mental focus.

We will miss the post season by 1 point because a bunch of people said not getting the extra point in a bunch of OT losses is no big thing.

Easy - Dustin Wolf.

I suspect he won't be averaging .880 like these two goofs.

Should be benched until he decides to be a part of the team. If not after that then trade him.

Yeah, that'll be the reason why they miss. Not the fact that they keep losing in regulation to bottom feeders...
